We are offering two $1,000 Scholarships to Catholic students who will be pursuing Post-Secondary education.
Father David Cottingham was born on February 14, 1940 in Moose Jaw. On June 18, 1966, he was ordained by Archbishop Michael O’Neill in the home parish of St. Joseph’s, Moose Jaw. After university and seminary and a few postings, in 1999 Fr Cottingham returned to his home parish of St. Joseph’s as the last Redemptorist pastor. The order left the parish in 2002. Based in St. Mary’s parish, Saskatoon, he returned to preaching missions until retirement. Among the Redemptorists, there are only a few who were seen as “giants” in their preaching of Parish Missions. Fr. David can be counted among those who were gifted to move people to a conversion of heart by his preaching. His warm smile and his gentle heart made him a compassionate channel of the Good News of Jesus, in his preaching and in a very powerful way as a confessor and counsellor. We hope to encourage young people to continue that type of legacy towards Catholic education.
